TITLE: South Korea's Financial Services Commission Amends Merger Valuation Standards to Enhance Fairness BODY: On August 20, 2026, South Korea's Financial Services Commission announced that the National Assembly passed amendments to the Capital Markets and Financial Investment Business Act (Capital Markets Act) to reform how merger valuations are calculated. The amendments aim to enhance fairness in merger transactions and eliminate incentives for stock price manipulation. Under current law, listed companies calculating merger valuations for affiliated entities rely on market prices, which creates opportunities for controlling shareholders to time mergers during periods of artificially depressed stock prices or engage in deliberate price suppression. The revised framework replaces market price-based valuations with fair value calculations that comprehensively consider market price, asset value, and earnings value. This approach enables companies to reflect their intrinsic value more accurately rather than relying solely on market conditions. The amendments strengthen procedural safeguards by requiring boards of directors to prepare and disclose opinions on merger purposes, expected effects, and valuation appropriateness. Companies must also obtain and disclose independent third-party evaluations of valuation and transaction condition appropriateness. For affiliated company mergers, special relationship interests—including family ties, debt guarantees, collateral provision, and concurrent executive positions—must be disclosed. Additionally, the amendments modify the shareholder appraisal rights process, allowing minority shareholders to receive valuations based on fair value considerations rather than market price alone. These changes enable minority shareholders to assess merger validity and pursue remedies if necessary. The amendments will undergo government transmission and cabinet approval before taking effect three months after promulgation. The Financial Services Commission plans to expedite subordinate regulations to ensure market adjustment and continued protection of minority shareholder interests.
